Li Lizhi first led Ma Zhou to roughly understand the situation of Baiqi, and then asked him to go back for the time being and wait for the news of his appointment.

As a princess, although Li Lizhi does not have the right to appoint officials, she has absolute right to speak in Baiqi. Just mention it to her father, and this matter will basically be settled.

However, she didn't plan to just meet Li Shimin like this.

I have to ask Luo Taisui first.

She needs to weigh the pros and cons of many parties, make sufficient preparations, and then explain the facts and reason, so that her father has no reason to refuse, and is convinced to give him a sixth-rank official position to expand his strength to the hundreds of cavalry.

We have to follow the rules, right?

In this way, Li Lizhi came to Luo Mansion again while thinking about how to talk about Ma Zheng later.

Walking into the gate and passing through the corridor, she was looking for Luo Taisui's figure when she suddenly heard someone talking by the small pond in the courtyard.

"I said, Lao Jiu, you are sleeping in my wine cellar every day, and you don't know how to find a girl to spend your time. Come and tell the truth to your brother. Is there any hidden secret that is hard to say?"

This is the voice of Luo Taisui.

Without women present, there is no need to worry about speaking.

Fortunately, Li Lizhi didn't understand the way of making jokes from the future at all, but just stopped unconsciously and wanted to hear what they were talking about.

On the other hand, Lao Jiu sighed without knowing whether it was because of his feelings or something.

Luo Taisui thought he had guessed something, so he took the opportunity to act like a "brick" and said, "Do you always feel lonely, empty and cold every time you dream about it at midnight, and want to do something, but you can't do it?"

Lao Jiu sighed again when he heard this, he wanted to speak but stopped, just like the male protagonist in a kidney overdraft advertisement.

Luo Taisui became more convinced of his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "This should be a psychological problem...that is, the so-called heart disease, after all, you are in your prime.

It’s nothing, I happen to know a few famous doctors, and I will introduce you to you another day.”

He just labeled the other party as...kidney deficiency!

It is said that kidney deficiency is largely caused by psychological reasons. It seems that bad people are under great pressure.

"Since I know it's a heart disease, what's the use of a famous doctor coming?" Lao Jiu took a deep breath, then vomited it out for a long time, as if he was trying hard to break free from a certain emotion. "Time flies, and the beauty will no longer be there, but the thing in this cup will be fragrant as it lasts.

The so-called heart disease requires heart medicine. Why not introduce some drinkers to me and live a drunken life and dream and die together? Wouldn’t it be a pleasure?”

His words were a little elegant and generous, which was really touching, but Luo Taisui couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it.

How happy?

When you drink alcohol, will your braids be squint faster?

If you don’t get rid of your kidney deficiency, it is also caused by excessive drinking...

"What a pity." Lao Jiu didn't know what Luo Taisui was thinking, and said with regret: "I see you are also a happy person, but I don't know how to drink, otherwise you and I can drink it."

He was arrested once or twice when he went to the wine cellar to steal wine. However, Luo Taisui never said anything bad. Everything was the same, which shows that he was definitely not a narrow-minded person.

Lao Jiu really wanted to find an opportunity to meet Luo Taisui, but the other party refused to persuade him to drink in public many times, and he almost didn't get drunk... He didn't even have a common hobby, which is a pity.

Luo Taisui thought I was still growing, and sighed: "It's not a solution for you to continue like this..." As he was saying that, I suddenly thought of something, "I saw you so good at drinking, and I don't know if you are interested in it."

"What kind of profession?" Lao Jiu asked in a daze.

Luo Taisui grinned and said, "Wine Tasting."

"Wine taster?" Lao Jiu frowned slightly, and I had never heard of such a business in the world.

"I'll ask you." Luo Taisui looked at him and said, "Do you know how to taste wine?"

"Of course, I will know if it is a good wine at once." Lao Jiu was very confident about this.

Fortunately, God gave him a mercy and gave him a good nose. Otherwise, why would he find the place where Luo Taisui can hide his wine at once?

Luo Taisui smiled and shook his head and said, "The so-called tasting wine, one should look, two should smell, three should be tasted. You should not taste it first and then smell it, nor should you finish your alcohol addiction and then taste it."

The last sentence is his real purpose.

As soon as I saw the wine, I drank a lot of mud all day long. That's called a drunkard!

Since Lao Jiu is interested in this aspect and has the talent of "smelling fragrance and knowing wine", it is better to turn his interest into a career and then use his career to regulate his drinking habits, and perhaps he will overturn his bad habit of drinking.

"One look, two smell, three taste..." This was the first time Lao Jiu heard this statement, "But I still don't understand, what kind of profession is this wine taster?

Could it be that you can make money by knowing how to taste wine?”

This was the point of asking, and Luo Taisui nodded slightly.

What is a wine taster?

Even in the era before time travel, many people can't explain this problem.

In people's imagination, the image of a wine taster often represents a kind of unearthly and noble... They shake their wine glasses every day, go in and out of high-end private parties, enjoy fine wine and food, and have an enviable income.

But in fact, a wine tasting cannot be defined as a profession, because almost no company will hire you because you have the ability to "taste wine".

Moreover, even if you look for the source from the Western society where wine is prevalent, you cannot find a word that accurately corresponds to "wine taster" in English or French.

Sommelier?

Wine selection consultant?

Winemaking consultant?

Wine critic?

...

No one can explain it clearly.

But no matter what, the term "wine taster" is widely used.

And those professionals who often deal with wine have become the "wine tasters" in people's eyes.

Of course, Luo Taisui's purpose is not to delve into the definition of "wine taster" with Lao Jiu. He wanted to "renovate" Lao Jiu with Robert Parker, the emperor of the wine kingdom.

"Of course you can't make money by just knowing how to taste wine."

Luo Taisui said leisurely: "However, if you taste the wine and you say it is good or bad, others will believe it, then the money will be delivered to your door automatically."

When it comes to the Tang Dynasty, the first thing that comes to mind by later generations is poetry.

The Tang Dynasty was another period when "poetry and wine culture" was highly integrated. Many literati used wine to inspire their creations, and even used wine as a creative material, giving them spiritual connotations that transcend their material meaning.

In such an era, it is not difficult to understand why Luo Taisui put so many tricks on it, but he only spent a lot of effort on this "wine".

As for Lao Jiu...

If he is willing to change his appearance and study the wine story well, once he has settled down, Luo Taisui is still willing to help him.

If one is not done well, it may be possible to cultivate a "Dang Dynasty Wine Emperor" who is comparable to Robert Parker.

Think about it, every day, urging the "Wine Emperor" to taste all kinds of fine wines from all over the country and even the world... Of course, this process cannot be free, wouldn't it be great?
